Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

OUTFRONT Media Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, “we,” “us” or “our”) is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), which provides advertising space (“displays”) on out-of-home advertising structures and sites in the United States (the “U.S.”) and Canada. Our inventory consists of billboard displays, which are primarily located on the most heavily traveled highways and roadways in top Nielsen Designated Market Areas (“DMAs”), and transit advertising displays operated under exclusive multi-year contracts with municipalities in large cities across the U.S. and Canada. We also have marketing and multimedia rights agreements with colleges, universities and other educational institutions, which entitle us to operate on-campus advertising displays, as well as manage marketing opportunities, media rights and experiential entertainment at sports events. In total, we have displays in all of the 25 largest markets in the U.S. and approximately 150 markets across the U.S. and Canada. We manage our operations through three operating segments—(1) U.S. Billboard and Transit, which is included in our U.S. Media reportable segment, (2) International and (3) Sports Marketing.

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of our management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain reclassifications of prior year’s data have been made to conform to the current period’s presentation. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the more detailed financial statements and notes thereto, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the SEC on February 27, 2019.

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Note 2. New Accounting Standards

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

Leases

In the first quarter of 2019, we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (the “FASB’s”) guidance addressing the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors using the modified retrospective transition method to adopt the new lease standard. The modified retrospective transition method allows entities to apply the new lease standard at the adoption date rather than adjusting each period presented at the date of adoption. The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification determines whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight line basis over the term of the lease, respectively. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases regardless of their classification.

We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which allowed us to carry forward our historical lease classification. We also elected the practical expedient related to land easements, which allowed us to carry forward our accounting treatment for land easements on existing leases. In addition we elected the hindsight practical expedient which resulted in increasing the length of our lease term for existing leases with cancellation provisions.

Table of Contents    
OUTFRONT Media Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

At adoption, we had approximately 23,600 lease agreements as lessee, all of which were classified as operating leases. On January 1, 2019, the adoption of this standard resulted in the recognition of an operating lease liability of $1.2 billion and a right-of-use operating lease asset of the same amount. Existing prepaid and accrued lease costs were reclassified to the right-of-use operating lease asset, resulting in a net asset of $1.3 billion on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. As a result of the adoption of this standard, we also recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment of $24.8 million to beginning Distribution in excess of earnings on the Consolidated Statement of Equity for lease costs which would have been recognized in prior periods as a result of the change in the lease term.

Under the new guidance, lessors account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to previous guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. Our billboard lease revenues will continue to be recognized on a straight-line basis over their respective lease terms. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Recent Pronouncements

In June 2016 (updated in May 2019), the FASB issued guidance which requires a reporting entity to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, and present assets held at amortized cost and available-for-sale debt securities at the amount expected to be collected. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. We do not expect this guidance to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Restricted Cash

In the third quarter of 2018, we entered into an escrow agreement in connection with one of our transit franchise contracts, which requires us to deposit funds into an escrow account to fund capital expenditures over the term of the transit franchise contract. As of September 30, 2019, we have $5.4 million of restricted cash deposited in the escrow account.

Note 4. Leases

Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted the FASB’s guidance addressing the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors using the transition method to adopt the new lease standard. See Note 2. New Accounting Standards: Adoption of New Accounting Standards.

Lessee

We generally lease the underlying sites upon which the physical billboard structures on which we display advertising copy for our customers are located. We also have leases for office and warehouse spaces. All leases are recorded on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and we recognize lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We do not separate lease and non-lease components from contracts.

Many of our leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term for varying lengths of time. These renewal provisions typically require consent of both parties. Many of our leases also contain termination provisions at our option, based on a variety of factors, including termination due to changing economic conditions of the related billboard location.

Certain of our lease agreements include rental payments based on a percentage of revenue over contractual levels and others include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

When available, we use the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, most of our leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, we must estimate our incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments based on information available at lease commencement or amendment.

We rent or sublease certain real estate to third parties.

As of September 30, 2019, we have operating lease assets of $1.4 billion, short-term operating lease liabilities of $169.4 million and non-current operating lease liabilities of $1.2 billion.

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded operating lease costs of $103.5 million in Operating expenses and $2.5 million in Selling, general and administrative expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2019, these costs include $26.3 million of variable operating lease costs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded operating lease costs of $300.5 million in Operating expenses and $6.9 million in Selling, general and administrative expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, these costs include $66.2 million of variable operating lease costs. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, sublease income was immaterial.

As of September 30, 2019, minimum rental payments under operating leases are as follows:

Our agreements with customers to advertise on our billboards are considered operating leases. Substantially all of our advertising structures (see Note 5. Property and Equipment, Net) are utilized to lease advertising space to customers, for which the contracts are accounted for as rental income. Billboard display revenues are recognized as rental income on a straight-line basis over the customer lease term. We exclude from rental income all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that we collect from customers. These operating leases are short-term in duration, typically a term of 4 weeks to one year and do not include any variable lease provisions or options to extend the lease. Certain contracts may include provisions for the early termination of the lease after an agreed upon notice period. We account for non-lease installation services and the lease associated with providing advertising space on our billboards as a combined component under the lease standard.

We recorded rental income of $301.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, and $839.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, in Revenues on our Consolidated Statement of Operations.

As of September 30, 2019, rental payments to be received under non-cancellable operating leases are as follows:
